STEAMCREAM products are unique [moisturizers made with steam](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mineralrich-water) that can be used on your hands, body and your face. What is even more exciting is the [adorably funky packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comfort-hand-cream) the lotion comes in. There are over 20 different tin cans you can choose from, with patterns such as flowers, flags and cute cartoons. The STEAMCREAM products' packaging is also [eco-friendly](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/refillable-moisturizer-pod)! You can recycle the tin after or use it to store earrings or other small items. STEAMCREAM products are available online and in certain retail stores.

STEAMCREAM claims that it creates "a cream with ingredients that are truly fresh, of the finest quality, ethically sourced and where possible organic and locally supplied." It is nice to know exactly what went into the making of the lotion you're putting on your body!
